Divine Lucky Star

After hearing Wang Hao's words, Fang Huai De was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly exclaimed, "Little Haozi, you are saying that this place is a Feng Shui treasure? Would it be good then if I build my future grave here?"

After all, he was getting on in years, and the older generation cared most about this. It was absolutely impossible to just find a public cemetery for burial…

"Currently, it's hard to say," Wang Hao looked around, then frowned and said, "Originally, this place was indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui, an excellent choice whether for Yang Mansion or graves, but something feels wrong here."

Normally, such a promising Feng Shui treasure should not have any major issues, yet Wang Hao had found several abnormalities at least!

"Ah? Something is wrong?!" Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

One of the elderly Feng Shui Masters named Zhang Chu asked, "Master Wang, I see that everything here is very good, and you even mentioned that it could be described as a land blessed with outstanding people, shouldn't it be without issues? Is it because of what happened with Miss Xiaoxue?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, this place looked great from every perspective, but why did Wang Hao think there was something wrong?

Could it possibly be some legendary… weapon of misfortune?

"There is indeed something wrong here," Wang Hao looked around and said, "Have you noticed, the water in this lake is lovely, proper flowing water and good quality, but the most crucial point is, there are no fish in the water!"

No fish in the water! Upon hearing Wang Hao's comment, everyone looked at each other and soon a villager hurried forward to check, saying, "Master Wang, we really didn't notice that before. We seldom came here before, but now looking at it, there really aren't any fish in the water, not even little fry—are visible, how strange!"

Normally, regardless of the water quality, there should always be fish in a lake, but not only were there no fish in this lake, but even the grass on the shore was sparse and the few plants that were there didn't grow lushly, giving the surroundings an overall eerie vibe.

The surrounding environment looked lush at a glance, but within this lush forest, there was always a sense of strangeness that permeated, especially on the mountain. Wang Hao looked up carefully and even spotted a faint cluster of black mist!

"There it is!" Wang Hao suddenly shouted loudly, "Over there, look!"

Curious, everyone followed the direction of Wang Hao's finger, and immediately they saw, at the upstream mountain above the lake, a dark, foggy mist hovering, which was very odd in the daylight.

"That is… black mist! It's black mist!"

"My God, Miss Xiaoxue encountered that black mist, didn't she?"

"This… this can be seen with naked eyes, what kind of ominous weapon must it be to be so powerful?!"

Everyone spoke over one another excitedly, Fang Huai De's heart trembling with fear.

Such a large swathe of black mist in the mountain, there must be some legendary deadly weapon about to be unearthed there!

"Miss Xiaoxue," Wang Hao looked at the cluster of black mist on the mountain and asked Fang Xiaoxue, "Did your incident happen up on that mountain?"

"Yes," Fang Xiaoxue nodded and said, "That's right, it was over there. When I reached the mountain, I felt chilled all over, and then… then I didn't know anything else."

Hearing Fang Xiaoxue say this, Wang Hao inwardly nodded his head.

It seemed that this was undoubtedly correct, the mountain surely had some super ominous weapon buried. To create such a vast expanse of black mist in such a picturesque location, this thing definitely wasn't simple…

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Protected by the Qi Fortune dice, Wang Hao was the bravest and took the lead, "Everyone try to keep up, if any of you are too scared, stay here and don't move, I can't guarantee that nothing will happen later, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."

Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, everyone shivered in unison, and two of the villagers simply didn't dare to move at all: "Master Wang, you guys go ahead, we're too scared, we'll just wait here for you…"

Aside from those two, the others apparently had more courage and gritted their teeth, "Let's go, let's check out the mountain!"

The mountain path was very rugged. In fact, apart from the lake, the other areas here were not easy to traverse.

Along the way, Wang Hao moved very slowly, with every step he took meticulously steady.

After all, this world had been transformed by the Qi Fortune dice. Before, he knew that many entertainment options were almost nonexistent, very scarce, but other than those, there were still many things he wasn't very clear about.

According to current observations, this world had obviously experienced a significant increase in Qi Fortune. Wang Hao had a feeling about this before, and now he was even more certain.

After all, the Qi Fortune dice itself was a divine object that governed luck and fortune, so there was really no need for skepticism.

"Master Wang," as they were climbing the mountain, Feng Shui Master Zhang Chu quietly asked, "Seeing how mighty Feng Shui is, is it possible to change someone's fate against the natural order? I have a nephew who has been frail since childhood, and we've spent quite a lot of money on many doctors to no avail. What do you think about this..."

Defying fate was indeed a topic of interest for everyone, and at that moment everyone's ears perked up to hear what Wang Hao would say.

"This, I cannot do," Wang Hao decisively shook his head and smiled, "It's said that trying to defy fate can harm the practitioner's own foundation, and I want to live a long and healthy life, so I wouldn't do such a thing."

"Oh?" Zhang Chu, curious, said, "I would think that with your skills, reversing someone's fate shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"It's different, this is different," Wang Hao carefully walked forward as he spoke, "There are five branches of this art, and all bear the risk of defying and reversing fate, but Feng Shui focuses on changing fortune and thus doesn't act against the natural order. Fortune is merely a supportive force; hence, Feng Shui is also a supportive force. Everything needs human action. Simply put, Feng Shui is just a form of state enhancement. For example, you can only catch money falling from the sky if you go outside, right? Therefore, all changes brought by Feng Shui rely on a person's actions."

Wang Hao felt deeply about this.

Needless to say, if he hadn't learned skills beyond gaming before the world changed due to the Qi Fortune dice, relying solely on good luck from the dice wouldn't have been very useful. There was no way he could have caught up with Bai Yaning, at least.

So whether Feng Shui was useful or not, there's a saying that goes, 'One must be strong to forge iron.' Luck can play a supportive role but isn't the deciding factor—like the car accident when he first met Bai Yaning. If he hadn't known how to handle a blown tire, he'd have turned into a ghost long ago, to say nothing of everything that's happening now...

Zhang Chu, who was also deeply moved, nodded and said, "Now that you say that, it does make sense..."

"Of course," Wang Hao said with a grin, "A person destined to die at seventy will still die. Feng Shui can only make their death more comfortable and less painful. For example, if someone is destined to face a calamity at twenty, without Feng Shui adjustments, they might get seriously injured and suffer greatly. With Feng Shui adjustments, they would still get injured but the damage wouldn't be as severe. Thus, the purpose of Feng Shui is to help others, enhance fortune, and encourage benevolence, not to defy the natural order."

A group of Feng Shui masters bowed to Wang Hao, "Having heard the Master's words today, we've gained deep insights, very deep insights indeed!"

Wang Hao: "..."

Is this really okay...

Fang Huai De exclaimed, "Indeed, Little Haozi is truly capable. Hey, Little Haozi, do you think the deadly weapon up the mountain can be subdued? If it can't be controlled, although this place is a Feng Shui treasure, we really don't need to push ourselves so hard, do we? A little change in fortune isn't a big issue, but if something were to happen to you, this old man would be deeply to blame..."

"Don't worry," Wang Hao was quite confident about this, "There shouldn't be any major issues. Even if we really can't subdue it, at least we can still run away."

The key thing was so much dark energy! If he absorbed it all, wouldn't he ascend to the heavens and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

As they talked and climbed the mountain, Fang Xiaoxue soon pointed ahead and exclaimed, "I remember now, this is the spot. I felt icy cold when I got here, and then I passed out!"

Right in front of them?!

Hearing this, everyone immediately stopped and Wang Hao looked carefully ahead. Indeed, in the bushes not far ahead, one could clearly see a clump of dark energy swirling around.

The dark clouds in the sky also connected there, indicating that was definitely the spot.

"Everyone be careful," Wang Hao gritted his teeth and slowly stepped forward.

With the Qi Fortune dice, Wang Hao wasn't truly afraid of any deadly creatures here; to him, it was merely another chance to strengthen his body. What he was really curious about now was what exactly was buried here that could be so ferocious...

"This soil looks a bit different," Wang Hao walked among the bushes, looked down, and saw that the grass on the ground was visibly withered, a streak of dark energy emanating from beneath the grass, looking ominously terrifying. Wang Hao asked, "Does anyone have a shovel? Lend it to me for a second."

"I have one," Fang Wenbin, who had come prepared, handed over a military shovel directly, "Brother Hao, are you planning to dig?"

"Nonsense, how else would we know what's underneath?" Wang Hao took the shovel and began to dig.

With his current physical strength, digging was as easy as eating or drinking. Earth flew around as he shoveled intensely, and in just over half an hour, he had dug a pit nearly one meter deep.

"Brother Hao, you don't need to do anything else in the future, just digging alone could ensure you never have to worry about food and clothing..." Fang Wenbin watched in astonishment, "That's really quite professional..."

Wang Hao replied irritably, "Quit your yapping, why don't you try digging?"

As he spoke, suddenly there was a "ding" sound, and the shovel finally hit something!
